Skipping the wet test on bricks cost me a day's work

I mean, I thought they were damp enough from the morning dew. Now the mortar isn't setting right and I have to redo it all, idk what I was thinking.

Sometimes you don't need to wet them at all, depends on the weather.

How did you pick up on that trick? I used to soak them every single time no matter what. Tried your way during that dry spell last month. Total game changer, can't believe I was wasting so much effort before.
